yea thats realistic when you have an album like UNA opening with a third of of ST. Not with Lemonade opening with 5 times as much and anti selling peanuts.

Opening week numbers are opening numbers. Lemonade is locked into streaming perpetuity with Tidal.

Anti is barely selling anything now, it ain't selling thru the end of the year

Prince's streams last week:
#1 Prince - Very Best of Prince - 179,206 (100,174) [292,343]

#2 Prince - Purple Rain - 69,092 (62,544) [71,180]

Terrible #'s, they didn't bother fabricating and his albums are TIDAL exclusive.

Prince wasn't Jay-Z's husband.

TIDAL already reported 10 million Lemonade streams in the UK and they've been added to her tally. They only have 3 million subscribers worldwide. They're a small blip compared to Spotify. It's just not possible.

I want to know how/if this data is being verified somehow.

Drake's biggest mistake with Views was the fact he released 0 To 100, How About Now, Hotline Bling, and Right Hand prior to the album. The album would be even better if they weren't weren't standalon singles and were out now for the first time.

Back to Back would've been fine too, but it was a diss track so he had a right to release it standalone immediately.

He does need to switchup the sound next album.

what does streaming have to do with sales though. If you're arguing that anti will outlast lemonade on the BB200 then it's possible but that ain't getting people to pick up a copy, on the contrary it makes one more likely to buy Lemonade over listening on its exclusive tidal platform

i dont even love anti views is really bad, easily drakes worst and least inspired record. A bunch of trend hopping and cliche drake-isms fueled by nothing but hype

I knew you were gonna say that she's Jay's husband.

But it's still a valid point -- if TIDAL wanted to fake stats to look good, why didn't they do that for every other past exclusive? Why wait until now?

People were perched to see TIDAL's effect and they had a microscope eyeing them when Rihanna, Prince, Kanye and etc released. If they showed the real stats then, then why not now?

And lol if the data isn't verifiable, then why didn't they align with their comments claiming ANTI sold 400K and TLOP had 250M streams and fake those? Like idg why they'd only choose to fake Beyonce. Why would they let Soundscan prove they were lying with ANTI and TLOP's success if they could provide fake #'s?

Would be nice. It'd be useful to have all the insider info onto these odious numbers. Kinda like Brittany's faked "club" alberms.

TIWYCF is on repeat I thought if it's going off in my head I might as well play it and I can't stop now someone help

[PrinceSpears]

Fadga is such an amazing tribute act

[SilencePlease]

Kworb spilling the hot tea, Beyoncé is a fraud.

[ezra]

Even though Beyst faked all of her success again, the army is likely experiencing an inordinate amount of pain. Every 90s act is bigger than their fave now and it's a confirmed reality.

Cause the other artists would see their receipts and go like, wait a minute Jay, these streams don't add up. Give me more money.

Pepcé will just look at Jay and rub her hands gleefully.
